NOTES: Other Vehicles include passenger cars, 4-wheel drives and ATVs. The drop
in total spills from 2002 to 2005 reflects the implementation of a new
database following a massive breakdown of the main Coast Guard Oil spill
database (MSIS) in November 2001. The new system (MISLE) only counts the
spill if it is investigated.
In 2005 facilities accounted for 66 percent of all spills,
largely the result of an Unknown facility spill that occurred on the Kentucky River in
January, spilling 110,000 gallons of crude oil.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
